The Fate of Ancient Egypt

Warriors are no longer raging, Women are no longer singing. Firelight prances inside Seth's eyes, dancing over Giza he cries: "Fire! Fire! It will find you all Even those who refuse to fall, So even if you escape my deadly chant Your ashes shall lie where living things aren't. "If you would try to save the day, It will be hell you'd have to pay. I shall breathe my fatal breath Upon those of you who run from death. "Your pharaohs shall kneel before me crying To be set free without you all dying, But my deserts remain hot as ever And none can escape - not even the clever. "Only the faithful to me shall be spared, So yes, the ones who have never cared. They'll ball their fists and bare their teeth at Ra!" "Forever obeying me." By Leanne Walsh 04/20/2014 (MM/DD/YY)
